# DoD Advances Open Military Electronics

DoD open-architecture standards for military electronics are moving from development into production, testing, and deployment, creating demand for interoperable computing, autonomy software, high-speed interconnects, compact form factors, and thermal-management solutions. The Army’s CMOSS/CMFF activity and Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) efforts are areas for contractors to assess, while the Army Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test and Threat (CPE ST3) discussed FY2027 simulation and training opportunities at an August industry event in Orlando. The signal identifies no specific solicitation, contract value, or procurement contact.

- Companies offering interoperable computing, autonomy software, high-speed interconnects, compact electronics, or thermal management can align their capabilities with the technical demand areas identified.
- Contractors should assess Army CMOSS/CMFF and Air Force CCA activity for relevant opportunities and pursue the CPE ST3 FY2027 simulation and training opportunities, including the innovation prize challenge.
- Because no solicitation details or award values are provided, the signal supports market positioning but does not establish a specific bid requirement or deadline.
